To clear Level 78 in CubeAway, dismantle the outward-facing perimeter blocks along the sides before touching the four spirals on the top face. The top spirals wrap tightly into one another, so tapping them early causes immediate collisions. Stripping the exterior lateral edges first opens the flight paths required to unwind each corner spiral from the outside in.
Step 1: Strip the Outer Perimeter Blocks
The side faces of the cube contain arrows pointing directly into open space. Clearing these lateral pieces removes the physical anchors pinning the top spirals in place.
- Rotate the cube horizontally to inspect all four lateral faces.
- Tap outward-pointing side arrows that have clear lines of flight away from the core.
- Remove corner junction blocks where side faces meet, as these sit directly at the exit points of the top spirals.
- Work evenly around the cube rather than clearing only one side, ensuring all four spiral entry points are exposed.
Do not tap any arrows on the top face until the exterior perimeter is completely clear.
Step 2: Unwind Each Corner Spiral from Outside to Inside
Once the perimeter wings are removed, unwind the four top spirals one at a time. Each spiral must be dismantled sequentially from its outer tail toward its center core. Tapping an inner block early results in a collision because the outer loop still blocks its exit corridor.
| Spiral Section | Arrow Alignment | Removal Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Outer Tail | Points along the edge into cleared perimeter space | First: Tap to open the outer ring |
| Middle Elbow | Points directly into the lane vacated by the outer tail | Second: Tap to open the turn transition |
| Inner Core | Points into the channel left by the middle elbow | Third: Tap to fully eliminate the quadrant |
Select one corner spiral, tap the outer tail block, and follow the sequence inward to the core. Once that quadrant is clear, rotate the cube 90 degrees and repeat the sequence on the next corner spiral until all four are gone.
Step 3: Clear the Exposed Center Pillar
Clearing the four corner spirals exposes the central foundation blocks of the cube. These center arrows point outward into the quadrant spaces you just emptied.
- Check the surrounding quadrant: Confirm that the corner spiral in front of a center arrow is entirely gone before tapping it.
- Avoid rapid tapping: Wait for the exit animation of a spiral block to finish before tapping the next arrow in sequence to avoid registering false collisions in dense formations.
Camera Angle Adjustments
Level 78 can create optical illusions when viewed directly from the top. Arrows can appear blocked when their flight lines are actually open on a different vertical plane.
Tilt the view to a 45-degree isometric angle and rotate the puzzle using quarter-turns. This perspective confirms whether an arrow aligns directly with an obstacle or travels safely above or below neighboring pieces. Once the outer edges and all four spirals are dismantled, tap the remaining core arrows to complete the stage.

Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
Nice guide. I am checking the other CubeAway articles next.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
The tips are practical and easy to follow.
